Jakarta,March 9 – Indonesia has entered into an agreement with India to procure BrahMos missile systems, an Indonesian official said, marking a defence procurement step as Jakarta strengthens military capabilities.

The official declined to confirm the total value of the agreement. Details regarding the number of missiles or delivery timelines were not immediately disclosed.

Indonesian authorities confirmed that an agreement had been reached with India for the supersonic cruise missile system, but provided few additional specifics on the scope of the procurement.

Requests for comment sent to BrahMos Aerospace and India’s Ministry of Defence (India) were not immediately answered.

The missile system secured its first foreign export contract in 2022 with the Philippines, a Southeast Asian neighbour of Indonesia. That agreement marked a milestone for India’s defence exports and established the BrahMos system as a product available to overseas buyers.

The BrahMos missile, jointly developed by India and Russia, is designed as a supersonic cruise missile capable of being launched from land, sea or air platforms.
